I am not sure he deserves this response. You have been spamming the thread with your offer. You could have easily ignored him, and continue to post the offer, it's a free world. Yes registration is free, yes they will approve it provided you submit the documents required and you will also get jobs on it. it is not mysterious or something only a genius can do. Chatflick: |

Please, can direct deposit from Upwork to Nigerian account work since we have a new administration? Also, what's the rate if yes? |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 10:24am On Jun 24, 2023 |
I saw the rate as 650ish yesterday. Of course, I ignored it. The whole currency situation is now very unclear. Google rates are $1=823.00, p2p is $1=770, FMDQ I&E FX Closing rate $/₦770.17 So maybe google does not have sense? It still does not explain why Upwork's payout is about 100 naira short. twosquare: |

Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by twosquare(m): 11:23am On Jun 24, 2023 |
Thanks for the reply. I think it has to do with the news of earlier setting it at #650. I just want to know if it hits naira bank account, it will go through without issues. Ayomipoe: |

Olawrites: It's way more than 1% though. From your monicker, it seems you're in the writing niche. I'll agree that it might be a tasking to break even with a Nigerian account in that niche. But for so many other niches, Nigerians with Nigerian accounts are actually doing very well 7 Likes |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Donpre(m): 7:15pm On Jun 24, 2023 |
Olawrites:1% is a harsh number. Almost everybody here uses a Nigerian account and about a quarter aren't doing so bad It depends on your niche and expertise and PURE LUCK |

beautycrush24: You can't be more native English than an English person. Yeah I made some good amount but yet it's not an easy ride. I changed location from Nigeria that's how I was able to pull that. Nigeria account is hard. How many Nigerians are really making it, forget all these new Freelancer making noise here. Most haven't even reach their first $1k on Upwork..lol. That's why I said 1%. 2 Likes |

Good afternoon everyone, Please I will need some guide on how to setup my Upwork profile to look attractive. Also, I think I haven't been writing good proposals that's why I haven't been getting invites. I would appreciate every help rendered to me. I do data entry, and I need help on how to search for good jobs on Upwork too. Nigeria's economy is biting hard and I need extra source of income. Thank you |

glimpse: Best advice is look at other freelancers profile to see what's missing from yours and what you can learn ? |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Macgyver1: 6:43pm On Jun 25, 2023 |
glimpse: Also add a tailored resume to your proposal |

Olawrites: You need not have made up that statistic. Achieving financial freedom through remote freelancing is not an easy ride — even more so for those with no idea of what they want or what they're doing. Many Nigerian freelancers in Nigeria are making bank from Upwork. That includes writers. Don't doubt that because they're not bragging about it on Nairaland. You can do a Talent search on Upwork to see for yourself. glimpse: How could anyone help if you don't attach a link to your Upwork account or append one of your proposals? |

@qtguru..boss, can we get some samples of your proposals cause your success rate is amazing 1 Like |

Donpre: My proposals are simple, each one is specific to the job but there is a consistent format I use Upwork Clients can only see the 1st 2 lines from your proposals, so because my field is Tech, I have to be direct and also add my portfolio. The portfolio is the key to getting jobs. It shows proof of work, after portfolio then reviews help. But if I can mention how I get successful with gigs, Bidding Tips 1. I try to be the first 5 proposals 2. I also check the "Last viewed by Client", if it's within 5mins, then it means high chances of the client instinctively responding to a notification. 3. If I see a job is perfectly within my field, then I can boost the bids because with a good profile and reviews, when you boost, they can view your work and pick. Portfolio Tips Have a portfolio for the gig you are applying for and it can be: 1. Screenshot 2. Video ( if your evidence requires explanation and more proof) 3. Audio For me I use AwesomeScreen Recorder to share my evidences of Previous works 8 Likes 1 Share

Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Donpre(m): 4:31pm On Jun 29, 2023 |
emmyN:Its insane. I remember they only refund 10 connects per interview. Did that change or would l lose 6 connects still even after landing an interview? Upwork has lost it |
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by qtguru(m): 4:46pm On Jun 29, 2023 |
Donpre: What's your field on Upworks ? personally I'd say maybe try out Powerpoint Design, I saw a lot of gigs with little application there, I was tempted to apply. 1 Like |
